Happy Winter Solstice, my Foxy friends! It’s officially the first day of winter, it’s going to be a full moon tonight, and there’s even a chance we can witness a meteor shower in the next day or so. AND Christmas is only FOUR. DAYS. AWAY. It feels especially magical and witchy and almost as good as that last winter special episode of the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”.

What I’m trying to say is, I’m in the holiday spirit AF. So for this week’s Bit by a Fox Podcast, I wanted to document traditional holiday drinks from around the world. It’s just a sampling, and it’s not the ENTIRE world, but it’s a great example of what different cultures deem festive this time of year. Spoiler alert: there’s a commonalty with all of them. People have been mixing up boozy cups of cheer for centuries. Here’s a little peek into the stories behind those Glöggs, Nogs, & Coquitos!

Homemade eggnog inspired by one from the Bit by a Fox Blog archives is featured for this week’s cocktail: Foxy Nog

Place the eggs in a blender by themselves and beat for just under a minute. Add the sugar for another 40 seconds, until blended and then add the rest of the ingredients. Blend until it looks like everything is well combined. After the mixture has a chance to chill for at least an hour, you are ready to get your nog on! You can serve this drink up in a coupe or a teacup or you can add a few cubes of ice to lighten it up. But remember the freshly grated nutmeg for the topper is key.
